Paolo M.‏ @PaoloBozu (twitter)9:34 PM - 13 May 2018It's time to make a big change ABS CBN and GMA Network, not all in the Philippines are into the Hallyu wave, some are fans of J-POP/Anime/J-Drama and Japan Culture. So, don't just only air Korean programs have some Japanese programs too so that PH can have that equal fandom.

Paolo M. @PaoloBozu (twitter)If @myHEROnation channel was still alive today. I'm sure it will be added on ABS CBN TV plus on free trial just like with Asianovela Channel, Jeepney TV, MYX etc...but here we are no more

Paolo M. @PaoloBozuTBH I don't understand ABS CBN anymore. They are going cold turkey with their anime viewers (I know a lot will say "Go to Yey! channel, they have anime there" but can Yey! air Keijo, The Asterisk War or A certain magical index?...I guess not)

Anime-zing ang Japan-tastic line-up ng YeY! channel this November with One Punch Man, Digimon Adventure TRI, the replay of My Hero Academia, and two of the Naruto Shippuden movies (The Lost Tower and Blood Prison).

Global streaming giant Netflix has unveiled on their content showcase in Singapore on Thursday five (5) new anime shows as a part of their original series, which will include the highly-acclaimed Filipino comic Trese.
